The Nomination connector links the CRM to Nomination, a French database of verified companies and decision-makers. Once set up, the CRM offers:
- account enrichment (legal form, activity, headcount, address…), field by field, as with SIRENE;
- the company's decision-makers who are not yet in the CRM, created as contacts once you confirm;
- business signals (appointments, departures, funding rounds, relocations, hiring) in the account timeline;
- tracking of contacts that came from Nomination: a job change or a departure becomes an update proposal;
- prospect search by criteria (sector, size, region, function).
A Nomination subscription is required. Without an API key, none of this appears in the CRM. This screen is for administrators only.
Set up the connector
- In the Vault, create a secret that holds the API key provided by Nomination.
- Open Nomination connector (
/connector/nomination). - Choose that secret in Vault secret holding the API key.
- Set Calls per day (maximum) to match your subscription: every lookup counts as one call; once the cap is reached, the connector stops until the next day.
- Save, then click Test connection.
The API address is pre-filled. It only accepts an HTTPS address on a nomination.fr domain, so the key is never sent anywhere else. If you change it, the chosen secret is cleared for safety; choose it again and save.
Good to know
- Nomination data only enters the CRM when a user accepts it. Each value keeps its source and date.
- A contact created from Nomination has no marketing consent: the recorded legal basis is B2B legitimate interest, with Nomination as the source. Collect their consent before sending them campaigns.
- The right to be forgotten also erases the link with Nomination.
Troubleshooting
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| Key rejected | Check the secret's value in the Vault and that the subscription is valid. |
| Daily quota reached | Wait until tomorrow or raise the cap, if your subscription allows it. |
| Too many requests | Nomination limits the rate: try again in a few minutes. |
| Service unavailable | Nomination is not responding: try again later. |
